Drink Like A Man

Evening Meditation:

   Once upon a time, admitting I am powerless over alcohol or anything else seemed impossible, un-American, unmanly. "Drink like a man" made more sense to me than "I am powerless." But, after several relapses and multiple self-realizations, saying that I am powerless over alcohol and that I am an alcoholic has not only become easier, it just "ain't no big deal."

   “Contentment makes poor men rich. Discontent makes rich men poor.”

Benjamin Franklin

Question for Today:

   Could your hollow bones not support the added weight of alcohol? Could you not fly?
